    Entitled? According to law? No. Bad luck, unless they advertised it to you in such a way that you had reason to believe there would be no sales.

    But you might be able to get one from HN anyway, because companies can give returns above and beyond the Australian Consumer Law, if they want. Unfortunately HN’s returns policy doesn’t seem to include any refunds for change of mind or change in price. But you could always contact their customer service and ask.

    Relevant sections of the ACCC’s Consumer Guarantees:

    You may not be entitled to a remedy if you:

    • simply change your mind, decide you do not like your purchase or have no use for it
    • discover you can buy the goods or services more cheaply elsewhere (unless the seller guarantees that the goods cannot be purchased more cheaply elsewhere)

        Ah well, we can’t always get everything for the lowest price possible. I bought a Motorola razr 40 at the beginning of this year for $610, thinking it was a bargain second-hand down from the retail price of $999. A few months later the stores were selling it new for $499. It’s only a small amount of money in the grand scheme of things so just relax and enjoy the new phone!
